Nuclear fusion would be a perfect energy source if it would work.



The image above this text portrait the plasma ring in the Tokamak-type fusion test reactor. The breakthrough in fusion power is that the fusion system will give back 70% of the energy that is used to ignite the fusion. That is the key to create the commercial and self-sustaining fusion reactor. 

Nuclear fusion is one of the most promising energy sources in the world. But the problem is how to make it create more energy than the ignition system pumps in there. The ignition of the fusion system happens by using laser, microwaves, and pressing the plasma with the magnetic field. The purpose of a magnetic pressurizer is to pressurize the plasma which will be ignited by using lasers. 

In some systems is used friction of the opposite moving plasma rays for boosting the energy level. There is also possible to increase the power in the ignition point of the fusion material by shooting it with ions that have opposite polarity. Or the ions with opposite polarity will shoot against each other. That thing will boost the energy level of the impact point and then increase the possibility of making the fusion. 

Natural fusion happens in stars. And it should be possible also on Earth. But the problem is how nuclear fusion is made in practice? Stars have thousands or even millions of years to start nuclear fusion.  In nature, that thing happens when the cloud of dust and gas is starting to rotate. And the friction rises temperature so high that it can begin the spontaneous fusion. The thing that starts fusion in the stars is temperature and pressure. 

In the Tokamak-type reactor, plasma is orbiting the nucleus in the ring-shaped accelerator. The mission of the magnetic system is just to keep the high-energetic plasma away from the wall of the fusion accelerator. 

In some other experimental systems, the reactor is like a ball. The fusion material will inject into the middle of the ball. And then there is targeted electromagnetic radiation. The last system is used in NIF (National Ignition Facility). The purpose of the NIF is also nuclear weapon development. 

The reason why the fusion reactor requires extremely high temperature. Is that the system must compensate the pressure in the nucleus of the stars by rising temperature. The problem is that creating the needed temperature requires energy. And if we want to make the fusion reactor the system must create more energy than it is used for the ignition. 

The temperature of the plasma is billions of degrees celsius. And that means the core of the fusion reactor will melt. So the system would use the pulse-type nuclear reaction. That means the plasma ring of the Tokamak-reactor is ignite in a short period. Then the pressure will get lower and the fusion shuts down. Then the process will repeat. The problem is that every pulse of the nuclear fusion should create more energy than the ignition needs. 

When the temperature of the plasma is rising extremely high level it will also transfer heat to the core of the reactor. And before the second fusion blink, the temperature must get lower because structures must stand the heat. And sooner or later there must keep a longer break in the power product of the fusion reactor.

Climate changing and intelligent technology

Climate changing and intelligent technology

Intelligent technology can offer opportunities for slowing or even stopping climate chancing. If we are thinking cases, where factory halls would have an intelligent system, what follows temperature, it can adjust the level of use of the outcoming heat, because when machines are working the temperature in the hall will increase, what means that the need of outcoming temperature is decreasing, and also the temperature, what comes from welding can take to benefit the warking.

In this case, the system would use the curved tube, which takes the exhaust gas away, that it would release the heat to the air. And why not in the offices, where computers are making very high-level heat, and the room would turn hot, the intelligent system cannot turn the radiators lower, because the needed heat would come to another place.

When we are thinking about the normal dummy thermostat, it would observe only the temperature of the radiator, but the intelligent system would follow the temperature in the air, and adjust the radiators what should flex if the temperature would be too high. When we are thinking about the factory halls, where the machines would create very high temperature, that temperature can be used to warm also offices, and that would decrease the need for the specially created warm.

But if we want to be even more ecologic, we could use many systems, which are good for creating ecological energy, and one is that the farmers can collect the waste to the chamber, where the methane, what is forming in that reaction can be taken to fuel for the own fuel cell. And the exhaust gasses of fuel cells would be driven through the active carbon filter. That means that pollution can decrease by this method very radically.

When we are thinking about the energy sources of the future, we must realize that the creation of a successful fusion reactor would be late. And if entire Europe would be addicted by one power system and one reactor, we must understand that only the minimum problem in that system can turn lights off from entire Europe. And this is why we should rather look for the other types of solutions than the one very powerful electric platform.

If we would use multiple small-size solutions the problem in one electric power unit would not cause the cutting off from the entire network. So if we want to make an ecological and faithful electric network, we should use multiple and small size solutions, which guarantees the power supply in the cases, where the one power unit cannot do its mission.

If we want to use solar power or thermal ground energy, we can benefit from those stable energy sources for creating electricity, but both of those systems can be made for creating hydrogen. And if the solar panel is above the cloud layer, it gives stable energy, and the water molecules are really easy to break to hydrogen and oxygen by using electrolysis. The hydrogen can deliver to the marketing area by using the existing natural gas tubes. But if we are thinking that the creation of hydrogen must happen somewhere near the equator, we are wrong.

Hydrogen can also create by using geothermal energy, and the hydrogen would be a good export article for states like Iceland, where is cheap to make geothermal electricity production units. But it can also be created in the northern areas by using wind and solar power, and that hydrogen can be stored for waiting for winter, where it can be used in the cases, where energy must be produced for fixing the cases, where the need of energy supply is extremely high. Hydrogen is a very good fuel for turbines, it's clean and there is no soot when hydrogen is burning. And the only waste, what that hydrogen creates in the burning process is water. So what if we would create hydrogen ourselves in the northern areas?

In the summers we can use solar panels for creating electricity, and that power can use in the electric network, but it can also be stored in the form of the hydrogen, which is created from water by using the electrolysis. Liquid hydrogen can be stored in the tanks, where is thermos layer. That gas can be used in normal gas turbines, which means that it would minimize the pollution.

When climate changes, we can just sit and wait or do something with that kind of things

When climate changes, we can just sit and wait or do something with that kind of things

The thing, what Greta Thurnberg has brought in the front of the eyes of public media is that children are not responsible about things, what adults are done. The climate chancing is a very big and bad problem for the people around the world. We can sit and wait for it. Or we can start to create technology and change our lifestyle which might decrease the level of carbon dioxide production. The decision is ours, and what road we would choose would affect the next generations.

But there is one more thing, what this young woman has also raised in front of the eyes of people, and that is why adults must not think children when they are making decisions? There are many things, which we have left to next generations and that thing is the price, what our children must face.

The thing is that we could wait that temperature would rise a couple of degrees, and probably easier to start the decrease the level of carbon dioxide production. And here we must remember that even if we would stop the production of carbon dioxide right away, the decreasing temperature would take even generations because the problem is so huge.

When we are thinking about people, who are guilty of climate changing, we must notice that the people who are the age of 16 are not those people. We know that we adults have power, and that might be a legal action to force those youngsters and children away from streets. But that action would not remove the climate chancing. And are those youngsters responsible for things and decisions that are made in some cabinets?

If a person doesn't have the legal right to deny the wrong decisions, we must notice that this person has no responsibility for that kind of things. But the people who live after us might ask, why people burned so much fossil fuel? Why did the climate let warmed? The thing is that I'm not responsible for things, which were made in the 1960s. And the rising temperature is not a very good thing at all.

But even if we would let the temperature rise, we can face very big and bad problems. Of course, we can wait a couple of years and think that the warming climate is the problem of the next generations. We can, of course, think that it would be easier to blame each other about things than do something. But what would be the price of that advantage?

The threat of war is increasing

When rains would be heavier, and the water is covering the farms, the vegetables would die, because their roots would not get air anymore. That will take all harvest, and also the size of deserts are growing. And the thing is the water would pollute when bacteria would get in the groundwater. This kind of things is causing refugee problems because there is not enough space for people. And nuclear weapons decrease the level of the full-scale military force against neighbors.

So need to clean water would cause that more and more carbon dioxide would get in the air, which will accelerate the raising of temperature. And the extremely hot summers are causing terrible situations in big cities like Mumbai, and the problems would become more serious because many country people are moving in that kind of cities.

Those people, who cannot even read are offering good targets for political far-wing movements. This is rising the threat of war. And because many people are moving to other lands, and if there are problems, the leaders of the nation will want to defend them. The rising threat of war would make more nations to get nuclear weapons because they are offering a strong defense.

And who cares, what the presidents, who are leaders of the nuclear powers are saying? That kind of advantage is very alarming, and the rising temperature would cause humanitarian catastrophes and increase the threat of war because people cannot live in their homes anymore.
